  1. Haaaaated. But I've always found the book mawkish and saccharine. And to paraphrase dear Oscar, anyone who can watch the of Beth March without laughing must have a heart of stone.
  2. Jareth was charming. Plus he had the best name... Worst Hair in the World Award: Sara Ramirez. It looks like a dead ferret that perished in an oil spill and was buried on a punk's buzzcut.
  3. What the freaking hell is up with Leonard's and Sheldon's hair? Is the stylist on drugs? Or should be? Their follicles look like permed waffles soaked in canola oil.
  4. In their little stock shots of the natural beauty of Waco, the idiot producers have the sun going the wrong way! Sun always rises and sets from east to west, which translates on TV as from left to right . They show a sunset sun flopped and going up the sky backwards. They are not the only ones. Some years ago the NBC national evening news had their logo globe impressively spinning clockwise, which it def does not. Does no one check these things?
  5. Yeah, she's called the Shekinah, among other things. Translated by Catholics into the Holy Ghost, the Ruach, the spirit that moved upon the face of the waters. And Hinduism has Kali, who is both Creator goddess and Destroyer goddess at once. Having grown up Catholic myself, I've always said that a Father God needs a Mother Goddess to stick his divine dick into, even metaphorically, if Creation is going to happen. But a brilliant episode indeed, for all the reasons y'all have mentioned.
  6. Haven't watched regularly until last season's finale. I come back for the opener and it's the same bullcrap childishness as when I left two years ago. Still the misunderstandings that could have been so easily resolved if someone had just said YO, y'all step back and shut up and explain in order starting with you. I cannot stand Maggie: what does it possibly have to do with her special wittle self if Mer didn't tell her about Alex the first of all? Petulant little cow. I don't even know where she came from. How many half sisters does Meredith have, for pete's sake. Alex: yeah, you should really keep a lid on it there, kiddo, or no mother is ever going to trust you again with their sick child. Mer and Riggs: who cares, really. Jo is THE most annoying character I've seen on any show in a long time and someone should just grab her and shake the truth out of her except I really don't give a crap by now. April vs. Catherine was great, though. I wish to God there was something else to watch in that time slot. I am going back to watching Blu-Ray "Game of Thrones" and fuck this noise. My blood pressure is at stake.
  7. Agreed. And, and, the preferred pronunciation of "coitus" is CO-ih-tus, as I learned it back in biology class and as the OED lists it. You'd think someone as allegedly smart as Dr. Cooper would be aware of that. Though COY-tus seems to be sneaking in, thanks to him...
  8. Oh, show, you are back and I am one happy little camper! This episode was hilarious indeed and I love all the comments, but never having watched BSG (except for the glorious original and a few clips of the reboot online, which I hated), I did not get the Cylon connection in the slightest. And perhaps y'all are right to connect it, but I just got that "All Along the Watchtower", one of my favorite songs ever, was cued into the overall vibe of the show. Doomy, gloomy, warning, ominous... for me it didn't need any spurious or superfluous linkage to be slammin' effective. YMMV, clearly...
  9. Makes Me Crazy: People who pronounce the word "coitus" as COY-tus. It's three syllables: CO-it-us. Dr. Sheldon Cooper clearly does not know everything, especially when it comes to words he's only read in books, and, until recently, had not encountered personally in his own real life <runs to find the brain bleach>.
  10. What was that gorgeous hotel with the beautiful wooden staircase?
  11. I know it's early days, but I do not care for the new boss. And what college was that with the beautiful wrought-iron gates? I was thinking Worcester, but maybe not...
  12. Normally Ducky can do no wrong in my eyes and all I want to do is hear him talk, but not in this episode. He pronounces "posthumous" (twice) just as it is spelled: poast-YOO-mus. Sorry, Ducks. It's "POSS-tchoo-mus." And you should be ashamed of yourself. Unless perhaps you were erroneously directed to pronounce it so for illiterate Amurricans.
  13. Absolutely a shoutout to Terry Pratchett! Sergeant Vimes of Cable Street...love it. Quite the "She's Leaving Home" vibe about Joan. So Thursday has only got three weeks to live, yet he tells no one. Morse could have stopped Joan if he'd had that information. Oh, and I adore those fusty Oxford houses. They're probably all glam and renovated and lived in by merchant wankers these days, unfortunately.
  14. "Frazil: soft or amorphous ice formed by the accumulation of ice crystals in water that is too turbulent to freeze solid." Hence, Thaw. Miss Frazil played by John Thaw's daughter... Or am I reading too much into this? What the hell happened to the baby? Was a scene cut where it was restored to its mum? Bright seemed really creepy with everyone, just about borderline flirty, but especially so with Truelove (oh really, now we are in James Bond Nomenclature Land: can we expect Pussy Galore or Holly Goodhead?). A very disjointed episode. Though I did really covet House Beautiful.
  15. Sorry, I just don't buy that the waitress recognized him AND his order after TEN YEARS. My coffeeshop servers barely recognize I'm there when I'm standing right in front of them, even though I go there a lot more often than once a year, or once every decade, or whatever the hell it was. I too live in New York, and just...no. So Samaritan would have to have been tracking Harold and waitress was a tool of same.
  16. Oh, amazing and wonderful. I knew Elias wouldn't live to see another day, and I liked him way more than I should like such an evil creature, but he died a hero. And Root is now a goddess of war... And Harry is an Angry Bird! I think that retribution is going to be all-encompassing, and I can't wait. But...I can, because it will all be over. I fearlessly and no doubt erroneously predict that Harold and MachineRoot (and Bear!) will be the survivors, and possibly Lionel as their new Hand. John and Sameen die heroically. What amazing acting all round: I can't imagine how they're going to top this episode. Michael Emerson and Amy Acker were toweringly excellent. "I wasn't talking to you": OMG the chills and shivers. He's going to be incredible as the new Dark Lord. Only he won't be Dark. I had my moments of boredom with this show, but now I am so sorry it's going away...
  17. They both died. Empty loft. After that, they are in heaven with their new loft and three happy children. Feh.
  18. I noticed that too. But I thought Bear was always spoken to in either Dutch or Belgian (not Danish), he being a Belgian Malinois? I always watch with the CC on, because Jim Caviezel is the king mutterer of all time and I can't make out a word he says without help.
  19. All of that. Best episode of the season by far. I wouldn't think Lilith for Mum, though, as she was God-created and human, as Adam's first and equal wife who basically said screw this submission to a man trip and flaked off, leaving rib-created Eve to pick up the slack. The wife of God in the Torah, I think, was called the Shekinah, but that is more of a title, not a name. Astarte, Tanit, Asherah, Tiamat are all goddess possibilities. Let us all hope they don 't make Mum the Blessed Virgin Mary gone dark side. But I don't like to think of any of them in Hell. Sigh: can't wait for next season...
  20. Yes to all the above. Maddie is the most petulant little spoiled bratty thing since teenage Caligula, and no lawyer worth his books will think she has a case for "emancipation." How? Whyfor? Because her mommy wouldn't let her sign with Sony at age 16 and her daddy slapped down a groper in a bar she snuck off to be in? She should be sent to Catholic military school, but maybe being tossed out into the real world with no money and no parental protection is what she really needs.
  21. God, it's true. Hetty is the short Dumbledore. What a heinous thing. I for one haaaaated Dumbles from the first (the twinkly eyes gave it away) and knew he would turn out to be a puppetmaster interested only in his own game. Hetty seems to be following in his footsteps, willing to sacrifice her team to her whims and wishes. Gah.
  22. Totally agree about Bratty Maddie and Crazy Cash. Love that Daphne ratted her sister out like that. Loved Daddy Deacon to the rescue, though it would have served Mads right if that creepdude had really come after her in the dressing room or someplace after the show. Little girl would have gotten burned bad, and serve her right. Oh, please someone remind me: didn't someone push Jeff off the hotel roof to a crashing end? Layla? Juliette? Someone? Or am I hallucinating?
  23. So they go back and forth between Vancouver and LA to shoot the show?
  24. It was like that when I was a little girl in convent school. All the boys were "Master Lastname", all the girls were "Miss Lastname." I keep the custom alive with my friends' and cousins' kids, and they rather like the formality. We never went the full-on Jane Austen, though, where the eldest unmarried daughter was "Miss Bennet" and the rest were Miss Eliza Bennet, Miss Kitty Bennet, Miss Lydia Bennet, whatever...it was all just "Miss Lastname".
